    ME3's MP is fucking atrocious.

    I played mostly for the Galaxy At War bonuses, but it was pretty fun really. It ranged from meh to intense on the higher difficulties with my squishy engineer!

    Favorite Books (excluding Rowlings and Tolkien works)

    In no particular order... The Inheritance Cycle (it has its issues, but I still thoroughly enjoyed them.) Percy Jackson and the Olympians (and Heroes of Olympus for that matter) Fahrenheit 451, of course. 1984 as well. Raven's Shadow: Blood Song - Amazing fantasy book. Not too well known...

    Opinions You Just Don't Understand

    Well said. Also, the seemingly pro-gun stance is also an anti-clueless-congressman-regulating-guns-arbitrarily stance. I mean really... an "assault weapon" by law is not necessarily some fully-automatic rifle. It's more "scary looking gun" than anything. Also, I consider myself libertarian...

    How did you first beat FTL?

    Zoltan B on easy. I can't remember my setup in detail.. but I remember having the pike from the start, along with the ion bomb (I bought it in sector 7, best choice I made the whole run), a burst laser, and something else. I had a defense drone II (makes the 2nd part of the flag ship SOO much...

    The Five games that define you as a gamer

    1. Kotor Kotor was the first real RPG I played. It made me appreciate a good story, and know how good a game can really be. The characters made me care about characters in games more than just the pixels they are, I still can't finish a dark side playthrough. 2. Age of Empires II: Age of...

    Star Wars Episode 7

    So, the movie will either be good and fans will be happy, or it will be bad and people don't have to watch it if they don't want to. Why not? I liked the prequels.

    What is your state's/country's embarrassing stereotype?

    Yep. I know how it is. My particular area is usually thought of (at least here in Western New York) as just full of rednecks, drugs, guns, and freeloaders. Not entirely false, however.

    Poll: Lack of basic mathmatical skills

    I agree with some of you that the problem is often the teachers dumbing it down for students at every turn. While little tricks to remember things aren't always bad to start, relying on them at deeper levels stunts further mathematical growth. I like to think the teachers at my school work well...

    Poll: Poll: Favorite Surviving Character in The Walking Dead (Television) *SPOILERS*

    Glenn, he's the one I can relate with most. Daryl is definitely second, though.

    Favorite and least favorite Pokemon type?

    I like Normal personally. The versatility is insane, and it only has one real weakness, fighting. Least favorite.. Bug. Except for Heracross and Fortress. They're just too cool.

    Writing on the wall - A chance to be a part of Escapist history!

    Sign me up! I don't really mind what font is used. Maybe some sort of sci-fi or eroded style font.

    The last way you died in a videogame is how you are going to die IRL

    I died in the Half Life 2 level "Anticitizen One," where you have to wait for some AIs to drop a bridge to let your team across. They, being the magnificent Valve AIs, decided to drop it ON ME. Thanks, you just killed the symbol of the resistance movement by dropping a bridge on him while he...

    Your home town's claim to fame

    We have a whopping 2 stop lights. We used to have 3, but you know... 2 is still a lot for the area.
